Hi.
In doing my kitchen remodel I had originally planned to have a main faucet and then a seperate tap for drinking water attached to a plain old Kenmore under cabinet water filter.
Now that my sink is installed and counters are being fabricated, this plan won't work. I need an alternate solution.
I am looking for something that works LIKE a faucet-attached Pur or Brita filter, but that can be controlled under the sink. I don't think that exists.
What I did find is an EverPure model that will work with a standard kitchen faucet at a full flow rate of 2.2:

However, the gentleman and the call center wasn't sure it would serve its function on a facuet with a mixer tap since it only filters water through the cold input. My new faucet is one that has just one arm that controls the hot/cold as well as the rate of flow (my understanding is that this type of control is called a mixer tap...?)
This is my faucet:

I am wondering, with this style of faucet, if the arm is pulled all the way in the direction of the cold water, does it shut off the hot and indeed I will get fully filtered water through this unit? Or will it only work unless you have separate controls for hot/cold?
I really appreciate any expertise in this area.
Thanks,
Jill
